Just wanted to post a short note to tell everyone Happy New Year. I am really looking forward to 2009 and getting my creative juices going. Yesterday (after keeping my sweet granddaughter for a week) I decided it was time for a ME day. There was only one estate sale and I hit it. Went to Michaels and shopped and treated myself to Olive Garden. Then went to 2 antique malls. Later when I have time I will post my treasures- some great mixed media items.
Today all day I have worked on my December beading project. It is getting there and I have my idea for the one going back to November. Plan on working hard to catch up. Tomorrow grandson is coming over and will be here until late Monday so there won't be much time for me again, but that is okay. This is memory time for those grandbabies.
Happy New Year again to all.
This picture is a group of my friends who decided under the leadership of Pat (http://www.birdnestontheground.blogspot.com/) to start getting together the first Thursday of the month and learn something new, spend fun time together and see more of each other.
This is the results of the first First Thursday Art Day (held on the 2nd Thursday because the 1st Thursday was New Years Day). We decided to do abstract type art and were invited to Pat's daughter's house (http://www.kellyvanhook.blogspot.com/) who has become a wonderful artist and is selling her work in her etsy shop and other venues. Her sense of color is awesome.
This is a picture of Pat our fearless leader. She inspires us all. She cheated - she didn't really do abstract, hers looks more like embroidery with paint. I hope she shows her piece on her blog.
This is all of us holding up our work and smiling for the camera. A fun day was had by all.
